Any idea when we will get email notification up and running?
A little hard keeping track of subscribed topics without it.

I occasionally get the odd random notification. Usually from threads I subscribed to before the change, not new ones. Sometimes I get the same one three or four times, and the links don’t work on them.

Same for me Samab. The notifications I get are random. This renders Subscriptions almost useless.

I have to say this is rendering the board much less useful.

It seems this problem still hasn’t been fixed as I keep on checking the “Notify me"-checkbox, but haven’t yet received one single email notification… Trying to keep up with active threads, answers to questions and new questions to my answers is getting rather frustrating that way…

Could this be browser-specific (as I am possibly the only active user of “Opera")?

Same here with Firefox 3, never received a single notification though
I keep selecting the notification selector.
Is anybody working on this or does it not matter?

IE7 here, only get them from old threads. If someone posts on the bugs thread, I get the same message at least 3 times.

FF 2.0.0.20. Old threads seem to work, new ones don’t.
This isn’t a browser problem AFAICT.

The reason for the multiple notifications is because folks are posting, getting an error of some kind and just submitting again (repeatedly) without checking if the original post actually made it or not. Usually it has, so we end up with reams of duplicate posts (which the admins have to keep deleting).

You sure about that Steve? I think it’s a forum bug. It seems a coincidence that everyone using the 2009 suspected bugs thread is muti-posting, and that includes you, I just got your post about Rules governing posts twice in my inbox. :)

Are you sure about that? I posted the same thing in the 2010 bugs thread as well. I did get an error on one of the posts, but I definitely did not re-submit - Back, Back, Refresh and the post was there. That said, I did edit them after the posts finally “made it” so maybe that triggered something?

Apologies in advance, but you’re likely to get that post repeatedly - every time a new post is mode to either of those threads. I’ll be deleting my existing post and reposting it - to make as sure as possible that people read it before posting. Those threads degenerate into an unholy mess if we don’t jump on bad posts and remove them. The only alternative would be to make them read-only so only admins could post to them, but that would be unfair on those who do abide by the “rules” and just makes even more work for the admins.
